Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Brilliant bank

5
Easy to set up the account. As soon as it was set up, the pp asked if I wanted to add the card to Apple Pay so it could be used immediately. The card was delivered. Few days later. I tried the account for a few weeks. Spending notifications came through almost immediately for card and Apple Pay transactions. I went through the current account swap process. It was completed on the allocated day. Two direct debits went wonky, but calling Starling resolved the issue. Seemed like the companies I was paying messed up. I love the virtual cards!

Easy, Reliable, Interest Paying

5
The online platform is simple, intuitive, easy to use, secure and effective. The best thing is even before the BoE interest hikes Starling were giving their customers interest. The range of one-touch features is great and the added bonuses such as tail make this by far the best bank I have ever used. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
